Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Jimbo. great reply,

Yes, I think your link is where I got my LS-2000 overhauled. He did a great job. His name is Barry Watzman and I heartily recommend him.

And yes, I may have to get a new film adapter... that's ok, it would not be that expensive. Just wondering if there might be a quick fix for the one I have.

Thanks for your thoughts! (say, I think we've exchanged messages before.. aren't you south of Bozeman? I'm in Billings!)

Thus I have a suggestion.. Go on eBay..do a search for LS2000.. their is a guy that does service on a few of the older models that is always out there ... Here's a link... http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-Coolscan-LS-2000-Coolscan-III-LS-30-Servicing-/260609293354?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cad863c2a  ..Maybe that will work for you..

I'm on the Scan High End group ...a few of us have some of the Nikon items along with our regular scanners.. These scanners will get harder to get parts or get repaired as time goes on.. The LS 5000ED is now selling for more then new in most cases.. If you get stuck contact me off group.. Maybe I can help you further.
